"Oh but I thought this was a pandemic of the unvaccinated?...(sarcasm off)"

The governor (fully vaccinated) is "experiencing no symptoms". Meanwhile, Texas is asking the Federal government for mortuary trucks so they can store all the dead (unvaccinated) COVID-19 victims. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/aug/17/texas-coronavirus-covid-cases-mortuary-trucks

Fully vaccinated governor: no symptoms

Unvaccinated COVID-19 patients: filling up trucks with bodies

Yeah, it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated. The vaccinated barely notice COVID-19 is still a thing. Roll the dice if you like. That's always an option.

Blame Biden.

Biden blames everybody else for anything that goes wrong. Blame Biden’s border crisis.

Probably because he comes into close contact with thousands of people a day and doesn’t want to become the next Typhoid Mary.

It’s not a pandemic, it’s pandemonium. We are being played.

That does it! I am not taking any more chanced with COVID. In order to improve my odds measurably against the virus, I am immediately going to register as a Democrat.

Get some HCQ and zinc, Governor, and do deep breaths daily to test your lung capacity.
